Hope I can help here as I have, and still send compact Mac's interstate here in Australia.
I buy those huge rolls of bubble wrap from Aust Post ($12.95) and wrap the unit 3 times one way and twice the other. Then, one a long thin piece of cardboard to secure it. The keyboard is also bubble wrapped. Mouse, power cord and keyboard connection cord are placed in a "seal it" plastic bag. The worst part is finding the appropriate cardboard carton to send it in. If the carton is slightly too big I might trim it down with a sharp knife/cutter. When the unit is placed inside with the accessories, I secure it with Styrofoam blocks/pieces and "fill" with shredded paper and rolled newspaper. Also, a must have item for packing is one of those sticky tape "guns" which come with 2 rolls also from Aust Post ($18.95) in which I use about a 1/3 of the tape per unit to bind everything in sight! One last thing.....of all the units I have sent interstate, there has been only one that failed. Interestingly enough, this particular one was the only packed on it's back. Hence and, from that point, I always send them upright! Hope this helps.......
